Bot change history

[Nikolaj]

For lazy people, for those who do not know how to use a translator, for those who do not have a bot, but want to follow the development of the bot, I created this topic. I'll try to update the topic.
I remind you that after each update, you can find a list of all changes in the root of the bot folder, in a file called new.txt.
There the list of changes is written in Russian.

2024.12.31
1. new feature: goposition_stop
copyright Dippydippy
stop movement to a specified point
2. Quickly switch focus to the bot window: lalt+b
change the key in the config.ini file
parameter: start_bot=key combination
3. nvda passive mode is set as the default mode.

2024.12.29-1
1. Fixed update retrieval and unpacking.
2. Fixed sending empty messages.

2024.12.29
1. Rewritten functions for searching and identifying the necessary window for both the bot and the game.
2. Now, the correct line is displayed in the script error log.
3. Edited keys for stopping the script. You can now use both the left and right Ctrl keys. For pausing, you can also use both the left and right Alt keys.
4. Renamed keys: numpad+, numpad-
New names: numpadplus, numpadminus

2024.12.28
1. Redesigned the sleep function mechanism.
2. Developed a custom Windows global key interceptor. Now it bypasses restrictions on keypress tracking in the game.
3. If the text field contains text and you select a user using Alt+Enter, pressing Enter on the selected nickname will send the message to the chosen user.
4. New trigger system attribute: main_stream.
Ensures that instructions from "execute" are executed in the bot's main thread instead of a parallel thread.
Example:
add_action_speak=test={"text": ["debug"], "execute": ["sleep=1.1", "lshift+."], "main_stream": 1}
Default: main_stream = 0.
5. Expanded functionality of the setonkey function.
New attribute: pass = 1 | 0.
Allows passing triggered keys to the game or blocking their transmission. Default: pass = 1.
Example:
setonkey=test={"keys": "j", "execute": ["playfile=start.wav"], "pass": 0}
Pressing key j will play a sound, but no attack will occur. If "pass": 1 is set, the keypress will also be transmitted to the game.
6. Extended setonkey function.
You can now specify alternative keys for triggering. Previously, only one combination could be specified; now, multiple are supported.
Example:
setonkey=test={"keys": "f3", "execute": ["playfile=click.wav"]}
Triggers only when f3 is pressed.
setonkey=test={"keys": ["f3", "lctrl+f4"], "execute": ["playfile=click.wav"]}
In this example, it triggers on f3 or lctrl+f4.
7. New default variable: %LASTSERVERBOTTIME%.
Indicates how many seconds ago a message was received from the control server ("server_bot_connect").
Default value: -1.
8. Fixed time display in the private message list when pressing f3.
9. Fixed an error when appending a character to the end of a variable
var_append=text=
10. New default variable: %SCRIPTNAME%.
The name of the current script.
11. New function: wlog.
Writes the processed string to mw.log.
Example:
wlog=Current script: %SCRIPTNAME%

2024.12.05
1. Added variable with the current date: %CURRENTDATE% in the format yyyy-mm-dd.
2. Fixed keyboard operation with keyboard_type=1.

2024.12.04
1. Fixed filedelete function.
2. New function: goposition_diagonal_mode enables or disables diagonal movement mode.
Example:
goposition_diagonal_mode=1  // enable
goposition_diagonal_mode=0  // disable
By default, this function is always disabled.
3. Simultaneous key presses now available through the keydown function.
Example:
keydown=s+d
sleep=4
keyup=s+d
4. Now, when the script execution is complete, all sound playback also stops.
5. Fixed functions: var_minus, var_plus, var_div, var_mult.
6. Fixed temporary files cleanup.
7. New default variables: CURRENTMICROTIME, CURRENTTIME.
Retrieve current time in milliseconds and seconds in Unix format.
Example:
open_game_window
var=start=%CURRENTTIME%
sleep=2
var=end=%CURRENTTIME%
var_minus=end=%start%
speak=time: %end%
sleep=2
8. New parameter: goposition_stop_get_coords.
In goposition mode, stop movement while checking coordinates?
Example:
goposition_stop_get_coords=1  // stop 
goposition_stop_get_coords=0  // don't stop 
Default value: 0.
9. Fixed bot interface.

2024.11.26
1. Implemented functionality for playing sounds from the network.
Example:
playfile=https://mwbot.org/1.mp3
2. New function: playfile_stop stops playback.
Example:
playfile_stop
3. Display of private messages:
• In the "Write a message" or "Message list" tabs, press f3 to access the private message list.
• The private messages list will be displayed.
• Pressing tab moves to the input field. Write a message there and press enter to send it to the selected user.
• To clear the private messages list, while in the "All messages" list or input field, press shift+f3.
4. The text translation system now works when sending private messages.

2024.11.24
1. New function: var_replace replaces text in a variable.
Example:
var=text=hello 
var_replace=text=["llo", "y"] 
speak=%text% 
Result => hey 
Another example:
var=text=ring (left) 
var_replace=text=[["(",")"], ["\\(","\\)"]] 
speak=%text% 
Result => ring \(left\) 
Or:
var=text=hello 
var_replace=text=[["l","o"], ["","y"]] 
speak=%text% 
Result => hey 
2. Updated tools for updates.
3. New function: nvda_mode switches NVDA modes from scripts.

english.bot.txt  // Bot interface translation
english.game.txt  // Game interface adaptation
• The scripts folder is now named scripts, reflecting its current use.
The directory for location walls is now at scripts/wall.
3. New event: event_attack.
• Allows tracking the start and end of battles.
event_attack:0  // Battle ended
event_attack:1  // Battle started
event_attack:2  // Target exists
4. NVDA mode selection via alt+n keys:
• Normal mode (default).
• Passive mode (NVDA tries not to interrupt speech).
• Silent mode (NVDA goes completely silent in the game).

3. New parameter: repair_max_retries.
Sets the number of repair attempts:
repair_max_retries=5 
The bot will attempt repair 5 times. If unsuccessful, both the game and the bot will close.
4. Critical change!
• Script pause and resumption after pause now use the f2 key!
Default timeout for re-pressing f2 is 0.3 seconds.
To change this, set the following in your script:
pause_timeout = float(seconds) 
Or specify the parameter in the bot's configuration file: config.ini.
pause_timeout=float seconds 
5. Added navigation through blocks in the script editor:
alt+b: move to the next line starting with block= 
alt+shift+b: move to the previous line starting with block= 
When a line is found, its content is announced, e.g., block=city.
6. New function: var_random.
Generates random values.
Example:
var_random=variable=1,300 
Generates a random value between 1 and 300 and stores it in %variable%.
Another example:
var_random=variable=["b1", "b2", "b3", "b4", "b5"] 
go_to_block=%variable% 
Selects a random value from the provided list.
7. New trigger system attribute: ignorepause.

4. New function: var_exists.
Checks whether a variable exists.
Example:
var_exists=varname={"true": ["speak=yes, variable exists"], "false": ["speak=no, empty variable"]} 
Another example:
var_exists=varname={"false": ["var=varname=1"]} 
5. Updated "playfile" player functionality.

Number of attack repetitions. Default: 2 times.
10. New system for data exchange between different bots at the script level.
Example:
server_bot_connect=string  // Channel name, use a complex string for security. 
server_bot_disconnect  // Disconnects from the channel. 
server_bot_write=string | json  // Sends a message to the channel. 
If the string is JSON, all connected users execute the function list.
server_bot_write=["speak=hello", "playfile=click.wav"] 
Or specify a recipient:
server_bot_write={"nick": "Eugen", "execute": ["speak=hello", "playfile=click.wav"]} 
Allowed functions:
server_bot_allowed_functions=["speak", "playfile"]

Instead of adding stop phrases of walls to the stopwallword.txt file, you can now enter phrases using a regular expression directly in your script, the work of data from the stopwallword.txt file is also taken into account.
command added: execute=["cmd1", "cmd2", "cmd3"]
execution of commands in one line, intended to be used to set settings
fixed using the go_to_block function in triggers in the execute attribute.
